Happy Hour of the Week: Trivia Night at The Ram

Every Monday night at 10 p.m. The Ram (University Village) turns into your weeknight game show that draws crowds from all areas of the University District.

Step on down.

But don’t think you’re just up against a bunch of overenthusiastic college kids, last week, a group of two, middle-aged people won the pot of over $400 – yes, that’s right. 400 dollars!

Trivia starts at around 10 p.m., and runs until about midnight. For $1 per person, you can bring a team a big as you want and join in on the fun and depending on how many people join, the cash prize changes every week.

The game consists of four categories, covering almost anything from historical facts, to random trivia, to a “name that celebrity” category. After the game is over, the staff tally up all the answers and announce the scores. The winning team gets the money. All of it. The rest of the teams get nothing. It’s a rough game.

But the game isn’t the only reason to tune in. Cheap drinks and food are available to keep your mind off waiting to hear the results — or possibly to slow your trivia genius, one of the two.

HUGE beers (32 ounces) are available for only $3, with $3 wells to accompany them. Appetizers are also on special, half the price for half the size (the food’s not really a great deal, but hey, you can’t win ’em all).

The verdict?

Get some friends together, get a team name, and get there early (tables can be tricky).
